OWENSVILLE — UDF offi-cials Nov. 5 presented to villagecouncil members revised plansfor a store that includes a thirdlot.

Council members also tookthe first step toward closing asection of Market Street, whichUDF officials said was neededfor the project.

WhenUDF firstmetwith vil-lage officials in August, plansfor the store included using thesoutheast corner of Main andBroadway streets on propertynow occupied by a formerdrive-in restaurant and Shu-mard’s Hardware.

John Johnson, an architectfor UDF, said the company nowhopes to purchase a third lotsouth of the planned store alongBroadway between Market andShort streets. The lot is now va-cant.

Tim Kling, director of realestate for UDF, said the addi-tional lot will enable UDF to im-prove access and traffic flowfor the store.

“It alsowill simplify the relo-cation of utilities,” he said.

UDF’s tentative plans show asecond building on the addition-al lot.

However, JohnstonsaidUDFhas no immediate plans for thesecond building.

“It’s just a concept,” he said.“It could be an office building,an emergency clinic or a Sky-line.”

Kling said the additional lotdoes not change plans for theUDF building in the originalplans.

Howard Moore, represent-ing Louis and Stirling Moore,owners of the third lot, said ne-gotiations with UDF are con-tinuing.

He said if the sale doesnot gothrough, he is opposed to a UDF

proposal to close a section ofMarket Street between Broad-way and Vine Street.

Mayor Rick McEvoy pro-posed having the first readingof an ordinance to close MarketStreet and postponing final pas-sage of the ordinance until a fu-ture meeting when the sale ofthe lot is completed.

McEvoy said he has notheard of any opposition fromresidents on closing the sectionof Market Street.

Council member MichaelPerry said village officialsshould look into widening Vineand Pleasant streets if MarketStreet is closed.

He said the closure wouldput more traffic on the otherstreets.

CouncilMemberJulieTolliv-er said shehas not heard anyob-jections to the store from resi-dents.

“I think bringing UDF to thevillage is awesome,” said Tolliv-er. “The residents of the villagewill benefit from it.”

Kling said UDFwould like tobegin construction on the newstore in the spring,withcomple-tion in late 2013.

BATAVIA TWP.—Rattled aftertheir ambulance was smacked ina four-vehiclepileupNov. 6, a trioof firefighters shook off theirown concerns. Then they attend-ed to thecrashvictims, says theirchief, who witnessed the wreckthat horribly mangled a HondaCivic and injured its two occu-pants.

“We actually watched oursquad getting hit,” said StonelickTownship Fire Chief MatthewRose. He and Assistant ChiefSteveDowneywere in a staff car,traveling ahead of the ambu-lance along Bauer Road at Ohio32when theyheard the sickeningsounds of metal slamming intometal and glass shattering. “Itsounded like a bomb going off,”Rose said.

Around 12:30 p.m., a FordF-350 truck and a Honda Civicwere both traveling east on Ohio32 when the Ford rear-ended theCivic, which had stopped for ared traffic light atBauer, accord-ing to a press release from theBatavia post of the Ohio StateHighway Patrol. The impactpushedbothvehicles through theintersection, striking the ambu-

lance and aNissanAltima, whichwere both heading north onBauer.

The chief said that he, the as-sistant chief and three ambu-lancecrewmembers assisted theother crash victims until person-nel from the Central Joint FireStation, which is assigned to thecrash area, arrived. One personin the Civic was entrapped;crews had to cut open the wreck-age, Rose said.

Despite the breathtakingamount of damage to the Civic,both people inside suffered inju-ries that theHighwayPatrol con-sidered “minor,” the HighwayPatrol news release said. TheCivic’s driver, JosephPope, 21, ofFayetteville, and an unidentifiedfemale passenger were treatedat Clermont Mercy Hospital, theHighway Patrol said.

The driver of the pickup, Da-vid Zimmer, 52, of Georgetown,declined treatment at the scene,said the patrol’s Sgt. CoreyWright.

Zimmer was cited for failureto maintain an assured clear dis-tance ahead, Wright said.

The driver of the Altima wasuninjured; the three ambulancepersonnel were taken to the hos-

pital for precautionary examina-tions and released, Chief Rosesaid, adding, “I’m really proud ofmy guys. They stepped up andtook care of what needed to betaken care of.”

The chief commended theCentral Joint Fire Station alongwith the Stonelick ambulancecrew:GregWilliams, firefighter/emergency medical technician;andRose’s nephews, JakeRose, aparamedic/firefighter, and Fire-fighter Marcus Rose.

The crash tied up traffic onboth sides of Ohio 32 for abouttwo hours, said Trooper AmyPennington of the highway pa-trol.

Chief Rose said the Bauer-32intersection is a source of greatanxiety for him. “Every time wego through that intersection totake someone to the hospital, weworry about getting hit – and to-day it happened,” he said Tues-day. “We have to go that way ev-ery day.”

Crash statistics for the inter-section, along with informationabout possible intersection im-provement plans, weren’t imme-diately available, said SharonSmigielski of the Ohio Depart-ment of Transportation.

Despite being inside this crushed 2005 Honda Civic, two people suffered only minor injuries in the crash atOhio 32 and Bauer Road in Batavia Township. THANKS TO STONELICK TOWNSHIP FIRE CHIEF MATTHEW ROSE

As they prepare to enter theEastern Cincinnati Conference,the Eagles and coach Frank Ritz-mann return four starters.

Senior Zach Wilson, juniorsKyle Chance and Steven Gilles-pie along with sophomore AlexVanderfrift will lead carry toload.

“With four starters returningthis yearwe are expected to be inthe top three of the new (ECC),”Ritzmann said. “We have beenworkinghardover the summer inopen bowling and hope this willcarryover to the season.Threeofthe starters are capable of aver-aging around 200 pins.”

Junior Nick Tringelof will addsome depth for the Eagles.

The team opens its seasonNov. 19 against Goshen.

The Lady Eagles return justtwo starters from a team thatwent 14-6 and notched a third-place finish in the FAVC a yearago.

Senior Meagan Marcum andjunior Delaney Ward are back,while Madison Canada, LaurenBest and Sarah Schmidtgeslinground out the top five.

Ward led the Lady Eagles andfinished 15th in the FAVC lastseason with a 156.3 average.

“We are a young team, andtherefore we do have a lot ofspunk but inexperience,” Ritz-mannsaid. “Theyoungerbowlersworked very hard over the sum-mer during open bowling. (Ward)couldbeoneofourbestgirlsbow-lers to come through our pro-gram. (Schmidtgesling) has sur-

passed our expectations for anew bowler, and during the sum-mer open bowling has improvedso much that she will be a starteron (varsity).”

The Lady Eagles open theirseason Nov. 19 against Goshen.

The Goshen boys team re-

turns six bowlers from a yearago. Four seniors in Ryan Saylor,Ryan Hicks, Christopher Quanand Tanner Stewart will join ju-niors Lucky Singleton and StevieShort to round out the returners.

Bowlers have strikes to spare in ‘12

CORRYVILLE — Thoughthey’ve never really had a“true” home field,MoellerHighSchool is familiar with severalvenues.

LocklandStadiumiscurrent-ly their official home field. Be-fore that, the Crusaders playedat old Galbraith Field nearKings Island.

However, they’ve alwaysmanaged to have a game or twoat theUniversity of Cincinnati’sNippert Stadium. In the GerryFaust/PatMancuso era, aMoell-er vs. Princeton contest wouldoftenpack thehomeof theBear-cats better than the Bearcatsthemselves.

Recently, the Skyline ChiliCrosstown Showdown and play-offs have brought the Crusad-ers to UC.

Their meeting with LakotaEastNov.10was therefore noth-ing new and the Crusadersplayed that way, thrashing theThunderhawks 46-20.

Moeller coach John Roden-berg didn’t see that type of con-vincing win coming.

“They have a pretty goodteam,” he said. “It’s been awhilesince we played against the op-tion.We got shook up early, thenwe came back and got disci-plined. Itwas agoodwin for us.”

Lakota East held a 7-3 firstquarter lead thanks to an open-ing drive that lasted 8:35.

The second quarter thenquickly became the “KeithWat-kins Show” as the Northwest-ern-bound running back scoredon runs of 17, 40 and 80 yards togive Moeller a 24-7 halftimelead.

“(The) offensive line madesome key blocks,”Watkins said.“I love themtodeath. Ican’tdo itwithout them.”

The lead was so substantialthat Watkins, suffering fromheat cramps from the Indiansummer temperature, didn’tplay in the second half. Playingjust two quarters, he still raced

for 168 yards.“It was just a heat thing,”

Watkins said. “It’s been awhilesince we played in the heat. Itwas just dehydration. I didn’thydrate enough. I could’ve goneback in, but there really wasn’tany need to.”

Moeller went on to add rush-ing touchdowns from Joe Era-mo, quarterback Spencer Iaco-vone and back-up Gus Raglandto earn the 26-point win and an-other chance to play.

“Just keep running it andkeep the time off the clock,” Ro-denberg said with a smile.

In a game that featured11 to-tal passes from both teams,Moeller’s Iacovone was 2-3 for13 yards, but ran 10 times for 95yards. In a reserve role, seniorJoe Eramo had 13 carries for 80yards.

“We thought we were goingto run theball prettywell,” Iaco-vone said. “Keith had a reallygood game and played out of hismind. Somebody plays like thatand it’s kind of hard to stopthem.”

Iacovone will sign to playbaseball with Marshall Nov. 14.He says there is a chance hecould double-up and also playfootball for the ThunderingHerd.

The Crusaders face ColerainNov. 17 back at Nippert.

COLUMBUS— “Surreal.”That’s the way Summit Coun-

tryDayhead coachBarnardBak-er described winning the Divi-sion III stateboys soccerchampi-onship.

TheSilverKnights secured itssecond soccer trophy in schoolhistory by shutting out GatesMills Hawken, 2-0, for the title atCrew Stadium Nov. 10.

It’s the Silver Knights’ firstboys soccer championship since1999.

Holding the opposition score-less is nothing to new to the boysof the Summit.

The squad didn’t allow a post-season goal despite playing aMurderers’ Row of competition.

Five of the schools the SilverKnights had to take down enroute to the title were ranked inthe top 10 of the Ohio coaches’poll.

Baker said his program hasusually taken an “attack” firstmentality—but thatchangedthisseason.

“From our forwards to ourgoalie,wehadamantra—defendfirst,” Baker said.

Summit goalie Ryan Hall ofCleves played a big hand in pro-pelling the Knights to a title, de-spite battling a shoulder injurythat nearly kept him out of thestate semifinal againstWorthing-ton Christian Nov. 7.

But the senior persevered,and will leave Summit as the

state’s career leader in shutoutswith 47.

“Ryan’s fearless and he’stough and you’re never going toget this moment back,” Bakersaid. “I applaud him immensely.”

Hall knows Summit’s defensewouldn’t have been as dominantif itweren’t for the guyswhoplayin front of him.

“Shutouts are never just me,”Hall told Gannett News Service.“It’s a teameffort.Notgivingupagoal in the entire tournament isunexplainable.”

The combination of JakeRaw-lings of Loveland, JoeyKunkel ofDelhi Township, Jack Meiningerof Mariemont and Ben Emery ofHyde Park have formed whatBaker believes might be the bestback line he’s ever seen during

his time at Summit Country Day.“They’re the reason why we

are here,” Baker said.GOAL!: Both of Summit’s

goals in the state final came offthe foot of seniorCaelanHueber .The first one came off an unex-pected pass from teammate BenEmery.

“I saw the goalie (in the mid-dle) and I just figured I had to bu-ry it,” he said. Moments later, heput the ball into the left cornerpocket to put Summit up, 1-0.Hueber ended his varsity careerwith15goalsduringthe2012cam-paign. He netted 35 in his varsitycareer.

A great year:Rawlings began2012 as a member of state cham-pionship basketball team, andhe’ll leave with a state title.

I used to be so proud of ourclose knit community ... peoplehelping each other, knowingeach other but today I can hon-estly say, I am ashamed. I haveto say, if the housing situationwasn’t so bad I would sell andmove.

Why? You re-voted in a ridic-ulously high school tax to giveyour precious children all theycould ever want, yet couldn’t seefit to vote in a safety issue toprotect those same preciouschildren? What a slap in the faceto our police department and thefire/EMS department. I know alot of these men in the fire de-partment. One in particular, mybrother. I have seen him comehome with a pale ashen facefrom a severe auto accident,watched him fight a fire I noranyone else would dare go near

and get back upthe next dayand do it again,and why doeshe do this? Heenjoys helpingothers. Now hefaces maybebeing laid off.This is how youthank them?

Do you real-ize that our fire department’sequipment has been failing onemergencies? Do you realizethat our police cruisers haveover 100,000 miles on them?That our police force is runningon a skeleton crew? Yet youexpect them to get out and do allthey can but won’t give them thehelp they need. I’ve heard,“learn to budget.” What a joke,you cannot budget with money

you do not have.I sincerely hope given the

amount of drugs on the streetsof Goshen that you teach yourchildren to not take them, be-cause the police will not haveenough coverage to keep themoff the streets. I really hope youhave great homeowners insur-ance, because the fire depart-ment will have to reduce ser-vices/trucks/employees. I prayto God you’re never in an autoaccident where the jaws of lifebreaks down when they attemptto get you out providing there isa squad available to come helpyou.

I am just in total shock overthis. Everyone that voted “no”for this issue should beashamed.

Nov. 7 questionDevelopers are studying

the feasibility of building ahotel on the “Purple PeopleBridge” between Cincinnatiand Newport. Do you think ahotel on the bridge is a goodidea? Why or why not?

“I do wonder about ourleaders and their priorities. Iwill be sure to hop on thestreetcar to head downtownrounding out my stay at thenew hotel for a little romanticbarge watching with my hus-band. How about fixing ourbridges before somethinghappens?”

M.F.

“I think the Purple PeopleBridge as a hotel is a greatidea. Newport and the Belle-vue, Ky., areas have devel-oped into great places forboth local and out of town res-idents.

“As Cincinnati’s banks de-velopment continues to ex-pand, along with the morenorthern areas of the citysuch as the southern sectionsof Over-the-Rhine, Cincy willbecome a very nice touristdestination, particularly re-gionally, for long weekends.

“It would be such a uniquesetting and the access to bothsides of the river would befantastic. I don’t see anydownside to it at all. I hopethat the studies come backpositive and development ofthe project can start in thenear future.”

I.P.

“Such a building wouldneed to be designed to with-stand the stresses and strainsof a structure that vibratesand moves. This is costly.Seems a better structurecould be built on good old ter-ra firma at less cost.

“Deliveries and trashpick-up would be a problem alongwith exposed utilities. But,given current city of Cincin-nati thinking, they could seektohave the streetcarbuzzby.”

T.J.

“Do I think a hotel on thePurplePeoplebridge is agoodidea? Not hardly.

“Why do some people havesuch an urge to be different?There are many reasons whythis isn’t a good idea, but foropeners a bridge isn’t usuallydesigned to support theweight of a building like a ho-tel, and I doubt there is any-thing that canbedone tomakeit perfectly safe.

“What’s wrong with thetried-and-true method ofbuilding things like hotels onthe ground? What’s next?Building a church on a run-way at Lunken? Say, wait aminute ... that is an interest-ing thought. Just kidding!”

Bill B.

“Whatever addle-brainnincompoop came up withthis bird-brain idea isn’tworkingwith a full deck.Howabout pup tents?”

M.F.D.

“Personally I thought itwas a jokewhen I first read it.Where is the money going tocome from for this ridiculousventure. I thing we need tospend our money more wise-ly, downtown has more needsthan a hotel on a bridge.”

D.D.

“This is one of the reasonsAmerica is sogreat!Freemenrich or poor can do what theywant. If a guy is successfuland has a wad to spend, lethim spend it ... he will rise orfall (unlike GM/Chrysler/Wall Street) by his success orfailure.”

K.P.

“It certainly is an unusualidea. It will be a good idea if itis successful. It will be a badidea if it fails.

“I believe the mountain ofred tape involved with con-structing a new building ontoan existing structure thatspans a state boundarywill bedaunting. The next challengeis determining if that veryspecial niche in downtown ac-commodations will attractenough customers.

“If it goes forward I see itas an initial success, but a fail-ure when the novelty wearsoff in five years or so.”

R.V.Question: Does the release

of the Boys Scouts’ “perver-sion” files change the wayyou feel about the group? Doyou the think the group ade-quately protects the safety ofits members? Why or whynot?

“I don’t trust theBoy Scoutorganization to protect youngboys or young men. I can’timagine why a parent wouldwant their sons or grandsonsto be in the Boy Scouts.”

I’m glad that’s over with. Abutt-whipping at the polls, as acandidate for Clermont Countycommissioner, is good for thesoul. The only sour notes werelove taps of sorts: Two vandalismepisodes at my house on twosuccessive nights in early Au-gust. TheMilford Police didn’tsee the love and took immediate,effective counter-measures. Ourpolice have impressive CSI-typeexpertise. They are good. Theyhadmy vote and support before,after this I will pass up no chanceto spread the good word - wehave a flat out superior policedepartment.

I need to mentionmy twomost favorite and bestest of allbest supporters, Marcia Oganow-ski and Coleen Binning. Thesewomen said and did so manywonderful things about and forme that I’m still not sure if theyknowme. Without Marcia, Iwould have been just a guy walk-ing around saying he was run-ning for office. If you need acampaignmanager who can doeverything, she’s the one. WithoutColeen, well, I just can hardlysay. If you know her, you knowhow I feel. She is the best. Andthen there’s my wife. She went

along with thewhole programwithout losingsight of thecounty’s de-mographics -the outcomewas no surprisefor her. I askedif she would beup for anotherrun. She said:“Sure. You can

run for my coffee. By the way,where will you sleep during yournext adventure?”

I am a luckyman. I have somany wonderful friends. I’mneither interesting nor partic-ularly smart. What separates mefrom others is that I have in-teresting, intelligent andmarvel-ously clever friends. Many of thepeople who offered to help arepeople who don’t knowmewell,but have read what I have saidover the years, and thought theeffort was worth their support.That is a humbling experience,my friends; people who will putforth effort in full knowledgethat the outcome is chancy butwho tighten their chinstraps andget busy regardless. That’s calledcharacter. I still don’t know quite

what to make of it all.Then there are the Demo-

crats. There are darn few ofthem in this county, but boy-o-boydo they work hard. The twoma-jor sub-organizations are theWest Clermont Democrats andthe Quin-T Club. TheWest Cler-mont groupmeets at By Golly’sonce amonth; I never even knewthey existed and now I owe somuch to them. By Golly’s hostedan event for me despite someblow-back from people who don’treally like Democrats. The goodpart was that until that kerfluffle,no one at the bar had bothered toask about party affiliation. Theyjust were helping out, being goodpeople. That’s also called charac-ter.

It would have beenmore funto win, but life’s about the jour-ney, not particularly the destina-tion. Now I can get back to myoriginal bucket list, the one withless stressful things in it. As forthe Republicans? I think Cler-mont County is a good swap-outfor the presidency.

Stores have had their Christ-mas decorations up for weeks. Idon’t know about you, but I havetrouble concentrating on Christ-mas when the pumpkins haven’teven started to rot, and I’m stillenjoying the charming Styro-foam graveyards in the neigh-borhood.

At Clermont Senior Services,we start thinking about Christ-mas early as well. Our Adopt-a-Senior Christmas program hasgrown quite a bit over theyears. This year, we anticipatematching 500 seniors with gen-erous donors. About 200 alreadyhave been matched. That’sgreat, but we have a long way togo.

We match groups or individ-uals with specific requests fromseniors that we know could usea little help. We often get inputfrom the seniors themselves. Acouple of years ago someonepurchased a bird feeder and

birdseed for an86-year-oldman, who livedalone in a smalltrailer in anisolated area ofthe county. Heloved feedingand watchingthe birds. Itprovided himsome entertain-ment and con-

tact with the outdoors.The requests we get from

seniors are usually practicalitems such as towels, blankets,pots and pans, and clock radios.The luxury items requested arethings like crossword puzzlebooks, jigsaw puzzles andDVDs. Maybe some cookies orcandy.

Every year there is a needfor personal care items such ashouse slippers, body lotion,razors and shaving cream. Tow-

els and sheets are needed, too.There is also a need for

cleaning supplies. We recentlyhad one lady that was washingher dishes with shampoo, be-cause that was all she had.

Some groups prefer to col-lect personal care items orcleaning supplies rather thanshop for specific seniors. Andsome people prefer to donatecash or gift cards, such as Wal-mart or Meijer, where seniorscan shop for groceries, clothingor medicine. All these thingshelp make the holidays brighterfor senior citizens.

If you or your group has aninterest in adopting a seniorcitizen for the holidays, pleasecall Jeanne Siegel at 536-4021soon. Gifts need to be in ouroffice by Dec. 7 or sooner toassure delivery by Christmas.

Howdy folks,There was a program

on television showing theSnow Owl. When the damwas being built here atEast Fork, I saw one snowowl. I was on patrol in theTwin Bridges area. Thiswas before the lake washere and saw the SnowOwl. What a beautifulbird. Of course I didn’t

have a camera to get apicture. A lady told me shehad a yellow bellied sap-sucker on one of her trees.There are different kindsof birds visiting our area.A few years ago, I sawnine cedar waxwings in atree. I called Ruth Ann soshe could see them. Boy,are they beautiful. Some-one told us they saw some

this year.Last Tuesday, Ruth Ann

and I had a noon meal withour friends Mort andBarb. We have beenfriends since we wentthrough the 20/20 programa few years ago. Theyhave cats like we do andsure take good care ofthem. Thanks for thefriendship and meal.

Last week, friends Kateand Tony were here tovisit and shared coffeeand pie. Tony is very in-volved in the CincinnatiNature Center and reallyenjoys it.

Last Wednesday, weattended the senior ser-vices meeting on JimSauls Drive. This was theregular monthly meetingof the board. It is alwaysinteresting to hear howthe center is being run.The folks there are doinga super job. Thanks, Cin-dy.

On Thursday, we wentgrocery shopping for alady in Bethel. We do thisfor folks when they needthis done. It is so impor-tant for us to help folkswhen there is a need.

We are spending a lot oftime in the carpentershop. We have built twolight houses, one wasrebuilt, the other one willgo to Middletown thisweek.

The Holy House at theBethel United Methodist

Church onHalloweenwas a suc-cess againthis yearwith 1,080peopleenjoyingthe birth,crucfixionand resu-ruection of

Christ. When folks camethrough, there was pop-corn, cookies, drinks andliterature about thechurch. The folks sureenjoy the Holy House. Thefolks that help put thescenes up are to be con-gratulated. This was anidea the Lord put in ourson-in-law Bob’s headseveral years ago. It takeslots of work and there areplenty of helping hands.There are ladies that popcorn. That day, they had1,300 bags of popcorn.When there is a need forhelp in the church thereare folks that are ready tohelp. Ruth Ann and I arealways there in the eve-ning to help. Our grand-children were there alongwith our great-grand-daughter. She had gotten abag of popcorn and wasreally enjoying it. Some-one said she likes popcornlike her great-grandpadoes.

Last Saturday, therewas a craft show at Rus-sellville at the old school.

Folks would tell us howthey enjoyed this columnthen would ask how isChessy. She has a verylarge fan club. She is avery spoiled cat! In themorning after she has herbreakfast, she jumps inmy lap and looks out thewindow, then jumps downand heads for the kitchendoor, saying, “I want out.”When she sits and looks atme, I wonder what she isthinking. We have gottento the point we understandthe different signs shegives and what a blessing.In the evening she will siton Ruth Ann’s lap andenjoy her snacks. Thenwhen they are gone, shejumps down and gets onmy lap to sleep. What ajoy.

At the Lions Club meet-ing last Monday evening,there was talk about thebeautiful plants that hadbeen planted around oneof the schools and theadministration office.Someone asked howmuchdid that cost and Melissa,said “nothing.” The U.S.Grant Vocational Schooldonated them along withthe mulch and the labor toplant them as a teachingtool for the horticultureclass. That was great.Thank you U.S. GrantVocational School. Ourschool system is one of thebest.

Last Sunday after

church, Ruth Ann and Iwent to the Felicity schoolfor their turkey dinner forthe sophomore class. Theyserved a fine meal, drinksand dessert. We always tryto attend this event andsaw several folks we gen-erally don’t get to see andvisit with. One feller wason the Lewis and Clarkevent a couple years ago.This feller joined theevent at Portsmouth thenfloated down the OhioRiver, stopping at differ-ent places along the river.The one that we saw themwas at New Richmond.This feller lives in Felicityarea and his name is RonLauderback. It is always avery interesting time to bewith him and hear thestories about the trip.

After we left theschool, we went on out tosee our daughter, Paulineand her family. We gotthere just as our grandsonRalph was leaving forwork. So we got to see himand then the rest of thefamily, including ourgreat-grandson.

Start your week bygoing to the house of wor-ship of your choice andpraise the Good Lord. Godbless all. More later.

George Rooks is a retiredpark ranger. Rooks served for28 years with the last five asmanager of East Fork State
